6.9 DRAINING THE COOLING SYSTEM
In order to carry out maintenance on the water/air
exchanger or the cooling system, the seawater
intake circuit must be drained.
Carry out this operation as follows:
- Close the seawater intake cock (ref.1).
- Open the drain tap (ref.2) until all the water has
drained out.
- Close the drain tap.
Reopen the seawater intake cock beforestarting the
generator.
6.10 REPLACING THE ZINC ANODE
A sacrificial zinc anode (ref. 3) has been fitted in the
heat exchangers to protect them against galvanic
currents.
Periodically check the state of wear and replace it if
necessary, in order to prevent galvanic currents from
irreparably corroding the exchanger. It is recommended
to check the zinc anode at least once a month when the
generator is new in order to check how fast it wears,
and then act accordingly.
It is in any case advisable to replace the zinc anode at
least once a year.
